*

Frequency of CYP3A5 genotype was in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (Table S1). CYP3A5 genotype was established for all patients except one who was assigned to the most frequent genotype.

Calculated from average within each patient.

Concentrations converted to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry equivalents if measured with immunoassay, see main text.
